Insertion head, component insertion device, and component mounting line

1. An insertion head comprising:

a horizontal shaft member;

one pair of gripping claws, each gripping claw extending on a surface which is orthogonal to the horizontal shaft member;

one pair of gripping claw holding members which are provided to be movable on the horizontal shaft member, and hold the one pair of gripping claws;

a swing mechanism which rotates and drives the horizontal shaft member and swings the one pair of gripping claw holding members around a center axis of the horizontal shaft member; and

an interval changing mechanism which moves the one pair of gripping claw holding members on the horizontal shaft member and changes an interval between the one pair of gripping claws, wherein

the one pair of gripping claws is configured to grip a leaded component and to insert a lead of the leaded component into an insertion hole on a printed circuit board.

2. The insertion head according to claim 1 , further comprising: a component recognizing portion configured to recognize the leaded component.

3. A component insertion device comprising:

the insertion head according to claim 2 ;

a component supply portion which supplies the leaded component; and

a control portion which controls the swing mechanism and the interval changing mechanism of the insertion head based on a recognition result of the leaded component by the component recognizing portion to grip the leaded component supplied by the component supply portion with the one pair of gripping claws.

4. The component insertion device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the component supply portion is configured to supply a plurality of leaded components in a state of being loaded on a tray or a conveyor, and to respectively orient the plurality of leaded components in various directions on the tray or the conveyor.

5. A component mounting line comprising:

the component insertion device according to claim 3 ; and

at least one component mounting device configured to mount a surface mounting component to the printed circuit board, wherein

the component insertion device and the at least one component mounting device are linked.

6. The component mounting line according to claim 5 ,

wherein the component insertion device is disposed to be closer to a downstream side of a flow of the printed circuit board than all of the at least one component mounting device included in the component mounting line.
